SMOKING PIPE.

To all to from it may condo m Be it known that i, WILLIAM J. Roonns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Potosi, in the county of Taylor and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Smoking Pipe, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in smoking pipes, and an important object oi the invention is to provide a reservoir so disposed with relation to the bowl and pipe stem as to trap all nicotine and moisture drawn from the bowl, and to receive all saliva which ordinarily passes from the pipe stem into the bowl of the pipe, and consequently a pipe is provided which obviates all of the disagreeable features of the pipes now in use and insures the smoker of a. cool and enjoyable smoke.

Another object of my invention is to provide a device including a reservoir which may be quickly detached from the smoking pipe, and due to its construction and arrangement of parts is easily cleaned, it is strong, durable, can be manufactured at a minimum cost, and is exceedingly ei'iicient in practice.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the description and wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention;

Figure 2 is a vertical section through the same; and

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the pipe.

In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 4 designates a pipe bowl of any desired type, which has its bottom provided with a central threaded opening 5.

The reservoir 6 is of globular configuration, and is adapted to be associated with the threaded opening 5 in the bottom of the bowl to receive nicotine and moisture therefrom. This globular form of the reservoir causes the smoke when drawn in from the bowl 4 to circulate freely a-ndbe thoroughly cooled before entering the pipe stem. This reservoir is equipped with a pair of oppositely disposed integral threaded nipples 7 and 8, also a. third threaded nipple 9 arranged between the oppositely disposed nipples, all of which have a conduit there through communicating with the interior oi the reservoir. The pipe stem 10 of any desired type having a ferrule 11 surrounding its end adjacent the bowl, is adapted to be attached to the nipple 9. However, in the present instance an annular shoulder 63 is provided to surround the nipple 8 whereby the bottom of the bowl abuts therewith to effectively brace the bowl upon the reservoir or vice versa. The ferrule is flush with the shoulder 6' whereby it also engages the bottom of the bowl to brace the same. The upper nipple 8 of the reservoir is adapted to be associated with the threaded opening 5 of the bowl, and in order to prevent tobacco in the bowl from entering the reservoir, a cap 12 having its interior and exterior screw threaded whereby the cap may be threaded upon the nipple 8 and into the threaded opening 5 to secure the reservoir to the bowl 4-. A filtering means is provided between the bowl and the reservoir by merely equipping the top of the cap 12 with a series of apertures 18. Any saliva that may rush down the pipe stem is of course directed into the reservoir and will settle in the bottom thereof. Consequently, when the smoker draws through the stem 10, the smoke drawn from the bowl i will pass into the relative upper portion of the reservoir 6, then the nipple 9 and into the stem 10. Beside accomplishing the above, the invention prevents particles which are saturated with nicotine from passing up into the mouth of the smoker, due to the fact that the perforated top of the cap 12 prevents any particles from passing into the reservoir. It is to be noted that the top of the cap 12 is flush with the interior of the bottom of the bowl a and accordingly does not in any way decrease the space in the bowl for tobacco.

When it is to be desired to clean the pipe, the stem 10 may be quickly detached from the nipple 9 and the reservoir together with the cap 12 may be unscrewed from the bowl oi the pipe. The cap 12 as at 1 may be removed from the reservoir so that Water may be passed thereinto for proper cleaning. In view of the above advantages, it is thought a highly efficient and sanitary pipe has been provided.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:

l. A smoking pipe comprising a substantially globular reservoir having oppositely extending nipples at the top and bottom thereof, whereby the smoke drawn into the reservoir will circulate and be thoroughly cooled before entering the stem, said nipples being screw threaded, a screw cap removably mounted on each of the nipples, one of said caps constituting removable sealing means and the other cap being perforated and removable, a pipe bowl threaded onto the perforated cap and removable therefrom,

a nipple extending from the globular reservoir and between the first mentioned nipples, and a stem engaging said intermediate nipple.

A smoking pipe comprising a bowl havinga threaded opening in the bottom thereof, a reservoir having a threaded nipple therein, a cap threaded on said nipple, said cap being equipped with external screw threads for engagement with the threaded opening in the bowl, and a pipe stem connected with said reservoir.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, 1 have hereto affixed my signature in the presence or two witnesses.
